the be. the best. this is deja news coming to you live from berlin tourism a six to hammer out a last minute drinks a compromise but is this the only handshake she gets e.u. leaders volatility no renegotiation as tempers flare of the specter of a no deal breaks it also on the program a tense standoff over humanitarian aid at the venezuelan border the self-proclaimed

interim president of one while those on the minute trying to defy orders not to allow the foreign aid inside the country and we talk to our correspondent on which way this could go. anderson hottest ticket in town the bullet the international film festival of the billy nona starts today cinema lovers are already lining up for this since favorites in the race for the golden bear. hello and welcome i'm on the thought. with just fifty days until break said british prime minister to resign is back in brussels may his meeting your think onsen president donald tusk and commission president. she's attempting to renegotiate to back the dean of wanting changes that would the backing of britain's parliament even says it will not open. with the pressure on tempers are flaring on both sides

of the channel we go to brussels in just a moment but first this report. only fifty days to go and no solution in sight fear of a hard brags it is growing day by day and so is the frustration in brussels watching theresa may head towards a no deal exit. what that special place. and looks like. it without even a sketch of a plan how to cover its safe to provoke it of statement that irish prime minister leo varadkar predicted would not sit well with those it was aimed at. but. not only in the press the response coming out of westminster was fast and furious. and i don't recall even the president insulting members of this house

members of the government and the british people in such a way. others took a step back to look at the bigger picture. earlier it. was just a third sometimes the truth hurts. for nigel farrar as the former leader of a euro skeptic ukip tests comment as proof of why britain wanted to leave the e.u. in the first place after bragg's it we will be free of unelected arrogant bullies like you and run our own country sounds more like heaven to me. heaven hell or somewhere in between it's up to theresa may. after meetings in belfast the prime minister is back in brussels seeking fresh concessions on the withdrawal agreement however neither donald tusk nor european commission president song called younker seem willing to renegotiate the deal. so as michelle just a short while ago to me is the may is in brussels and so is the max hof one man so

everything they carrying this appears to be a very desperate mission about to resign me trying to get some concessions out of the e.u. . desperate might hit the spot here and let me tell you why because our mission is to change or even eliminate the infamous backstop so the insurance policy that's written in the divorce agreement between the u.k. and you to prevent a hard border between northern ireland and ireland and you know what seems like she's a day late to do that because the guy we just saw that were poured the irish the prime minister of the republic of ireland leo varadkar was right here in brussels on wednesday and meds but sure that the rest of the european union the so-called e.u. twenty seven are standing behind him and unity is solid as a rock that tempers are getting frayed max as we heard in a report the frustration expressed by donald tusk the fierce an angry response in the u.k. but all is said and done

a new indeed brags it is not in the interest of the e.u. either is it. it's common knowledge that it's really in no one's interest maybe with the exception of the hardest of the hard liner breaks the tears back in london but that is also part of the strategy there are those who say that the european union at the very end when we approach the twenty ninth of march might cave in and try to do something about the backstop because the alternative might be a no deal bragg's it and that will mean immediate hard border between northern ireland and ireland but really to tell you our perception here we don't see that happening at all at the moment so where do you see this going next well we have three possibilities moralism region so the first one is first option is a brags that without a deal that's not very likely at the moment because the house of commons in the u.k. has very made it very clear they're not in favor of that but it remains the default

option so if nobody does nothing happens at all then this is what is going to happen then the second one would be to have no brakes at all maybe a second referendum or new elections but that would require an extension of the so-called article fifty period so basically delaying the braggs it in the third option would be to have a brags that with a deal but as things stand right now this won't be possible to achieve until the twenty ninth of march either so you would need an extension for that as well so what i think most people around here is most likely is. an extension i don't think so at the moment still a very they feel good situation maxell funded obvious dresses being the chief thank you. not even as it has political crisis in a tense standoff over a conversation monetary aid which is stranded on the country's border and the standoff has deepened venezuela's government led by nicholas has ordered the army

not to allow it into the country the agents been organized by the united states and venezuela's opposition who want to see it removed from power with the aid convoy stranded at the border now venezuela's military has to choose whether to obey the government's orders or to let the aid in we have this report. venezuelan soldiers keep watch at the barricades of the ten teachers bridge border crossing president nicolas maduro has called aid supplies offered by the united states a form of foreign intervention he's ordered the soldiers to turn the assistance away but the soldiers have also been given another order by one of the opposition leader who last month declared himself venezuela's interim president. and. i give a direct order to the armed forces allow the necessary humanitarian aid to enter to

take care of your family. that is put the focus on the military personnel at the border and their commanders which president will they obey. pedestrian bridges at the border remain open venezuelans can still cross to buy goods they can't get at home but many who have no money to go shopping in neighboring colombia don't understand why the aid shipments are being stopped. i am asking you to please open the border. let the food pass. me. it's like you say you really love in a swale or if you really feel something inside of you only if you love your family your children and you should to love them then you need to love us venezuelans as well i'm asking you please open the border mr mature or for that i. do or has dismissed the us aid offer as

a political show in the capital caracas supporters signed a petition that's to be sent to washington telling donald trump to keep his hands off of venezuela. make him or not that we want to see if there are rights and interests because external forces are attempting to scenes our national wealth i. had a military rally on wednesday but they were called on troops to show patriotism and unite against the us. by the us empire by the president of the united states of america mr donald trump. you know not. for now the border troops still appear to be following the orders of nicolas maduro there are concerns this aid standoff could escalate. and he. has just returned from the region and joins me now in the studio welcome or

feel what are you hearing from the border about this standoff well the blockade remains what we know is about the convoy with the aid has arrived at the border we haven't received footage of this yet but it left the capital the. capital of colombia and it has arrived at the border so the need for this blockade to end is becoming more urgent by the hour what we also know is that last night apparently passengers flying with a ton of humanitarian aid was able to sneak in to venezuela from puerto rico which according to the secretary of state is a secret mission from puerto rico interesting though this standoff over the humanitarian need taking center stage in this political crisis in venezuela what is at stake for the two leaders well for the self-proclaimed interim president one why

though it's some sort of a test for the military to see how loyal they are to the opposition he has told them not to fight the opposition to just let the humanitarian aid in that could even help their own families the families of the military and for. little we just saw it in the report it's like a pretty to military intervention and he has been repeating that. is intending to do this now this it apparently has been sent by the. nineteen states is that correct that is correct apparently so why is the u.s. getting so directly involved in this issue right now at this point because usually the people of the country brooke quite suspicious about u.s. intentions how do they feel about the u.s. is position in this crisis right now when we saw the lady complaining about this intervention which she called it herself but there are also people waiting for the aid because it's very urgent what isn't clear is why the u.s.

is doing this now they could have done it before and it was also surprising for many people that the international community also the e.u. so quickly accepted. fishel president and recognized him today there's a meeting in montevideo in europe by where countries from the you are from latin america and you are meeting russia was not invited they have complained about it and the region is already volatile and this is becoming the center of the fight between russia and the united states as well and that's what makes it so complicated to freely. fun and pleasure to have you with us. now more on venezuela in about twenty minutes when team sebastian interviews venezuela's ambassador to brussels cloud yes i live on conflicts and so do watch that if you can let me now bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the wild rescues of the turkish city of istanbul are battling to free people

dollars loss for the european aircraft manufacturer and it's raised doubts about the future of the a three eighty itself the australian airline ordered the jets in two thousand and six but since then they've switched to lighter more fuel efficient passenger jets a worldwide trend the a three eighty is too heavy and uses too much jet fuel which wouldn't be as much of a problem if fuel prices had gone down but instead they've almost doubled since twenty sixteen. so it's not surprising that another major airbus customer is taking off to the dubai airline emirates allegedly wants to cancel its existing orders for fifty three units at least in part that could mean the end of the world's largest passenger aircraft. you're watching the news coming up ahead the long. lines international film festival the billion dollar it kicks off today a vision feast awaits us enough to get tickets to. the fuss

the u.s. ambassador in berlin richard grinnell has scored on a journey to abandon its north stream to pipeline project the pipeline will run from russia under the baltic sea and supply gas division to germany it's such a going to get into operation later this year in an opinion piece written for grinnell along with two of the us and masters in europe said the project would drastically increase russian energy leverage and would pose a security threat to the e.u. and the west have previously threatened german companies directly involved in the construction of the pipeline with sanctions the german foreign ministry advised not to respond. and full moon on the story and we're joined by a political correspondent hans brandt he's at our parliamentary souter's welcome hans and the question people here are asking was agenda does the u.s.

ambassador richard good net have here in germany. well on the face of it obviously he's talking about the concern about the european union the union union security in other words the dependence of the european union and germany especially on russian gas which will be increased by this new additional pipeline we have to say that there is an existing pipeline there already that is already supplying gas through the baltic sea to germany and that's a concern about security is in fact a concern that is shared by large parts of the european union by the european parliament by the commission and by many states in europe especially those that are closer to russia the ones that are in eastern europe but we have to say as well that behind all of this there is an agenda that concerns united states commercial interests as well and this is a charge that through germany is leveling at grinnell and at the usa they are saying that the united states are now becoming an export of natural gas have become

so in recent years and they're looking to export this gas to europe as well so in some sense richard grinnell is also. promoting united states commercial interests here in europe. appears to be quite a controversial figure here hons doesn't. yes indeedy is. well something like a donald trump here in germany somebody who for the american president. cuts a figure that is very similar to the one that don from cuts in the united states going out as brash he does not stick to diplomatic protocol he interferes in a sense in the affairs of the country where he is being hosted where he is a guest in a sense for instance by threatening german companies involved in the pipeline project with sanctions he has also said that he wants to promote the interests of right wing populist parties in europe including the right wing populist syria in

germany so he's being very undiplomatic in many of his stances huns bronte dumbass political correspondent thank you very much turning now to a clash over another natural resource this time in madagascar located off the coast of east africa which has some of the continent's vicious fishing stocks for generations a traditional community known as the visible has fished the waters off the indian ocean but this say the rival last year of chinese fishing trawlers off the coast not threatens to disrupt the already fragile balance between man and sea. fisherman and a cow holes in his net. the small community in southwest america has been fishing like this for generations but now their way of life is under threat. several huge chinese fishing trawlers started casting their nets of the sure of on

a pound last year the local fisherman with a small wooden boats can compete with this industrial fishing operation. it's bad for us it's tough competition because the chinese nets a huge. so having a catch many fish as for me i'm just using a small net i can't get that many fish. and they fear it will get much worse under a deal struck between the madagascar development agency and chinese investors three hundred thirty chinese high tech boats will be delivered to madagascar and fisherman supplied free of charge they will replace their traditional wooden boats to increase the fisherman's hold part of the fish will be sold locally the rest will report by the chinese allegedly at a favorable price. sounds like a good deal but it has provoked an outcry among the fishermen here they fear that industrial scale trolling will result in overfishing and if fish stocks diminish

their livelihoods will be at risk. if this goes on with all these traumas coming here. where will the fishermen go they have nothing else them fishing. community that makes its living from the sea is settling into an uncertain future. and now the event movie fans in to look forward to every year the balun film festival which starts the seedling this year the competition feels an unprecedented lineup of female directors among those vying for the top prize the golden bear the jury will be chaired by french star. and movie lovers have already been lining up for the hottest tickets. the fans i want to make the bidding on such a unique event it attracts the largest audience of any film festival in the world
